The Marvelous Oracle of Oz

Thank you!

Shalin, for production reasons I'm limited to 72 cards, less if I want to include a LWB. To do 78 cards I would have to go to the next box size up, which would add to the costs and make the deck even more expensive.

Beyond that, I don't want to be bound to a strict tarot format. Some of the cards do correspond, but a lot of them don't. To get the symbolism right for a tarot deck would, in my opinion, be too much of a stretch. I really want the deck to speak its own Ozzy language, even if there are a few "cognate words" in common with tarot! ;-)

Thanks, everyone, for your kindness and encouragement!

Where can I see more of the cards? The links here only show the original few. They are wonderful, and I want to see moooore!!!!

At the bottom of every page there should be a couple of links for "Newer Posts" or "Older Posts" that will allow you to go through the whole thing. Barring that, there is a drop down menu on the right, under the soup can, with links to every post from the beginning. (I'm not surprised if you didn't see that, it's barely visible... I need to do something about that).

Best is just to go here http://ozoracle.blogspot.com for the latest posts, then scroll down, hit the "Older Posts" link, and Repeat as Needed to see five or six cards at a time.

Thanks for the kind words!!!

I'm not looking anymore, I love to have things to look forward to and this deck is it!
I'll just set pensively by the window and wait for the 'it's a go' word

Me too; looking just makes me more impatient for this deck to be published!

Done & Done

All the work is done on the deck; the files have all been uploaded to The Game Crafter, and now I'm just waiting on the physical proof. Should be about 10-12 days. If the proof meets my expectations, the deck will go on sale the same day I get the proof! If changes are needed, it could be a day or two more.

The End is Nigh!

O Happy Day!!!

Oh cool! This will be excellent Freder.

'Tis done, 'tis here, 'tis ready.

Thanks to all who followed my oracular jourmey through the land of Oz, and offered their kind encouragement!

I haven't given it a Reading Test Drive yet, just been through and color-proofed all the cards. The Game Crafter have done a lovely job. Anyway -- THE MARVELOUS ORACLE OF OZ is On The Air, so to speak...
